Subscription settings

​
How does tax work?

Go to Commerce → Settings → Tax to configure.

​
How do I configure different payment entities?

Each app connects to one payment entity. Payment entities share transactions, customers, payouts, legal entity, and compliance verification Connect an app to an existing payment entity when:
  • want to consolidate revenue across multiple apps under one business entity
  • are launching a new version or variant of an existing product
  • want unified reporting and payouts across apps
  • are sharing customers across apps
Create a new payment entity for an app when you:
  • are launching a completely separate business or brand
  • need different legal entities for compliance or tax purposes
  • want isolated financial reporting and separate payment accounts
